Granny Hat


Andrea's Granny Hat
I used a size G hook and Caron super saver white worsted weight yarn
I left out the last 2 rows of increase because I have a smaller head size.
Here is the free pattern

Crochet Wrist Warmers
My own pattern  I have tiny hands.
Ch 21, join with a slip stitch
Ch 3, 1 Dbl crochet in each stitch, join with a slip stitch
Repeat 5 times
Row 6 continue around with double crochet . Chain 4 instead of double crochet at the last 4 stitches. This will be the hole for the thumb, join with a slip stitch
Row 7 continue with double crochet around Crochet 4 double crochet over the chain 4, join with a slip stitch
You can continue as many rounds as you like.
Last row is the top of the wrist warmer. Crochet a shell stitch (3 double crochet, slip stitch into next stitch, skip 1 , )fasten off at the end. You may have more shells than me since my mit is so small.
